BF2S Forums What kind of audio system do you have?

Logitech X540 5.1 surround speaker set for PC.

2 Pioneer speakers + 2 Pioneer subwoofers + 1 Pioneer bassbox for my car.

I seem to have a fetish for audio   I spend most of my budget on home cinema gear on audio (although not this time) and quite a bit on PC.

For my theatre setup I have it hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V3800 amplifer with some Jamo speakers in a 7.1 configuration although the sub somewhat let's it down (a denon from an all in one dvd/amplifer, but still soldiers on), the quality is ''fan-fucking-tastic''.




Fact this reminds me I should probably ask here, the amp absolutley REFUSES to go into ''Dolby Digital Plus'' mode.  As far as I am aware, plus is just a tweaked Dolby Digital, so I assumed u could simply switch it to Plus for some added oomph, even if it is just a gimic.  But apparantly not, it will only let me play normal Digital, or DTS if the movie supports it

On my PC, although on this machine here I have no sound card as yet, I do have Logitech Z-2300 THX which certainly sound and look the buissiness.

2.0 Creative Gigaworks T20's. They sound much better than most of your crappy 5/7.1 setups and whatnot as well.

5.1, thats about as much as I care to know.

I would love to improve my audio, after the new year I'm getting myself a new HDTV and fancy a nice setup linked to the ol' PC, what would you doods recommend?

Some Aiwa speakers from my old stereo hooked up to a Cambridge Soundworks sub.

Cost me about £30 total and shits on normal PC speakers from a great height, deeper bass, more clarity just all round better in every way and cheaper, can't work out why people go to companies like Logitech who make mice and keyboards for their speakers, at least Creative make audio mainly, not the best but better than most other PC targeted companies.

I have a set of 5.1 speakers, but i never use them since im always on headphones

hmm, i know where this grinch is stealing christmas at this year..

2    300watt pioneer 6x9 3 ways

2    270watt pioneer 6 inch 3 ways

1    kenwood 1000watt monoblock amp

1    1300watt sony explode 12inch sub

You have speakers in your ceiling? That's awesome.

I have a 5.1 Sony system for my TV and Creative Gigaworks 7.1 in my room, for my PC.

With the loss of my beloved sub amplifier, I have now modded an aging AKAI stereo amp with a more powerful power source and some new stuff to use it with my 12". Works flawlessly, it's got more than enough power to power the sub now. WIch, by the way, is mounted magnet facing out, in a badass way. When I max out, I can hear the bass from two apartments away

Yeah, those in-ceiling speakers are nice. Looks like speakers you'd find in a car.

Looks are cool but they have a grill over them anyways . The sound is awesome though. They are directional and you can calibrate them for accuracy by setting the switches on them to correspond to the distance to walls..etc.

Rule number one when cutting holes in your ceiling.. make sure you clear the insulation above it first ..lol. (I didn't)
